1Opinion of the CourtO’Sullivan, J.
The plaintiff brought this action against Stephen J. O’Brien and Wallace DeLaney, trustee in receivership of the Norwalk Tire and Rubber Company. The complaint was in two counts. The first was based on malicious prosecution, the second, on false imprisonment. The court directed a verdict for the defendants on the latter count. On the former, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff to recover from them $2000 in damages. The defendants have appealed. Their assignments of error are directed to the court’s refusal to set the verdict aside and to three rulings on evidence.
